Light Offerfngs of Bonds.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The offerings of bonds to the government continue light and it is now thought that the balance of the $14, ,00O, 900 called for by the circular of Sep tember g will not be secured by the 6th inst. It is therefore likely that the period fixed for the purchase of bonds for the sinking fund may De extended few days or that Secretary Fairchild may decide to allow the offer to re- main open indefinitely until thesreouired amount shall have been obtained. To-day's offerings aggregated $168, ,500, of which $154,- 400 were 4111 per cents. and $14, ,450 4 per cents.

Entertainments.

At the New Haven Opera House last even ing Kellar, the prestidigitateur, gave another of his entertainments before large audience. In his line Kellar does some very fine tricks, the slate writing, for instance, being one of them. This act has been made famous by Dr. Slade and great many others who pre- tend to rely entirely upon the aid of so-called spiritual influence and who will perform the feat in the presence of only @ few. Kellar scouts this idea and styling the pencilling of the alleged spirits mere trickery produces the writing in full view of the audience under ordinary conditions. Miss Osborne in recita- tions pleased those present, and Blamphin, the harpist, in his rendering of the Welsh national hymn, 'The Men of Harlech, D showed himself master of his instrument The entertainment will continue for the rest of the week

year, but that the people were very
generous and were continually bring

81 SAY WHAT THINK"

With voice and look of daring,
Determined to act on a selfish plan,
And for nobody's comfort caring
-''I say what think - and at every chance
This impulse of his obeying.

TIC doesn't think what he's saying.
o. many an arrow will reach the heart
For which IL was never intended.
If q careless marksman wings the dart,
And the hurt can never be mended
And many a friendship may be lost,
And many love-link broken
Because of neglect to count the cost
or words that are lightly spoken.
81 say what 1 think All the truly great,
Who give their wisdom expression
In chosen phrases, would hesitate
To make such rash confession,
For think what injuries might be wrought,
What evils we could not smother,
If every body said what they thought
Without regard to each other
To say what you think is a noble thing
When your voice for the right is needed,
To speak out your mind with loyal ring
When order and law are impeded;
But the evil thoughts that flow through the brain
And the heart should be retarded,
For we lessen the tide of grief and pain
When our speech is carefully guarded.
You may think what you choose, nor give Of
fence
Be a traitor, and not display it;
And if you're deficient in common sense,
BY silence you'll not betray it,
And let it be written in blacklist ink,
For the good Of each son and daughter,

Homemade Saving Machine.

A New York correspondent of an
Eastern paper tells how II cross-cut saw
may be used to good advantage by one
man: One end of the saw-the handle
being taken Oils hung by swinging
bar several feet long to the side of the
wood house. The swinging bar should
run between two horizontal strips, which
will make it run steady. To support
the stick which is to be sawed, heavy
piece is fastened on the corner of the
shed, and a crooked piece is fastened to
the side of the shed, either by mailing
from the inside or bolts, or by setting it
in the ground. The saw should have u
good set so it will go through the wood
without cramping. The longer the
swinging bar is the less rocking motion
the saw will have, Farmer,
